The 5th Medicinal Cannabis Course continues with registrations open until February 28. The course coordination asks people who have already registered not to repeat the registration. If they do so, they will take away spots from other people.
Classes will take place on Tuesdays, between March 2 and June 29. According to Unifesp, to participate in all activities and receive the certificate offered at the end of the course, registration is required. However, if the interest is only in accessing the content, the lectures will be open to the public, with no need for prior registration.
